Update on Good Chrisitan Bitches

Last September, I told you Parkie socialite, Kim Gatlin (former wife of Rudy Gatlin of the Gatlin Brothers)  has had her book, Good Christian Bitches, optioned by Darren Star -- creator and exec producer of, among others, Sex and the City and Melrose Place.

"The project, referred to by some as "Desperate Housewives in Dallas," centers on Amanda Vaughn, a recently divorced mother of two who, to get a fresh start, moves back to the affluent Dallas neighborhood where she grew where she finds herself in the whirling midst of salacious gossip, Botox, and fraud."

UPDATE!!!

Today the Dallas Observer reports that "ABC-TV publicist Erin Felentzer (who handles the network's drama schedule) told them, 'I can confirm it's being shot there.' Which is welcome news for the local teevee business after the quick cancellation of Lone Star, the demise of The Good Guys and the earlier-than-expected end to NBC's Chase.

Despite local rumblings that ABC's asked for a longer look-see, Felentzer insists it's still 'it's just a presentation -- I'm sure people are just calling it a pilot.' And she says that it's 'currently' known as Good Christian Bitches. Word is, though, that'll more than likely change. Sooner than later. "
